Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2005-0015
Package name: postgresql
Summary: Buffer overflows
Date: 2005-04-25
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.1
Trustix Secure Linux 2.2
Trustix Operating System - Enterprise Server 2
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
PostgreSQL is an advanced Object-Relational database management system
(DBMS) that supports almost all SQL constructs (including
transactions, subselects and user-defined types and functions). The
postgresql package includes the client programs and libraries that
you'll need to access a PostgreSQL DBMS server. These PostgreSQL
client programs are programs that directly manipulate the internal
structure of PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server. These client
programs can be located on the same machine with the PostgreSQL
server, or may be on a remote machine which accesses a PostgreSQL
server over a network connection. This package contains the docs
in HTML for the whole package, as well as command-line utilities for
managing PostgreSQL databases on a PostgreSQL server.
Problem description:
From the CVE entry:
Multiple buffer overflows in gram.y for PostgreSQL 8.0.1 and earlier
may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via
(1) a large number of variables in a SQL statement being handled by the
read_sql_construct function,
(2) a large number of INTO variables in a SELECT statement being handled
by the make_select_stmt function,
(3) a large number of arbitrary variables in a SELECT statement being
handled by the make_select_stmt function, and
(4) a large number of INTO variables in a FETCH statement being handled
by the make_fetch_stmt function, a different set of vulnerabilities
than CAN-2005-0245.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2005-0247 to this issue.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
